THE THANG
Trail run winding up the hill to the top where we encountered a paved road leading downhill.
Bear Crawled down half the hill and moseyed to bottom of the hill.
Here I introduced the PAX to The Green Monster, a steep paved hill leading up to the water tower, which is perfect for HILL REPEATS involving the BOX OF PAIN. Queue the ominous, suspenseful music…

PAX partnered up and the BOX OF PAIN was opened, revealing papers inside inscribed each with a mode of transportation and an exercise.

All #1's moved up the hill together, while #2's performed the exercise. When #1's reached the top of the hill, #2's headed up the hill while #'1's performed the exercise at the top. Then we all moseyed down the hill together before the next set.

Politician – Jump Squats
Sprint – Burpees
Frog Jumps – Shoulder Presses
Walking Lunges – Plank Jacks
Crawl Bear, each partner taking half the hill
Ran out of time, so we all did Butt Kickers up the hill, then enjoyed the “3 Miles Downhill” to the shovel flag. CURAHEE!!
